I picked this up recently anybody ever see a 32 inch Cities Service Lens, Im guessing it went up on the gable end of a old station. This one is cracked but whoever had it did heck of a job framing it up for display.





Thanks

Joey

I too would guess that would have been the purpose/use of the lens. Neat item, never seen one,

Too late---I was offered one earlier this year and it may have been the same one because it was cracked too? I just didn't want to buy broken glass, even tho it is a tremendous piece!

You're probably right about the usage tho! What the heck else would they have ever used it for??

You could always have Rick cut up a Wayne 40 and supersize it and use this for the globe!
